Dec 10, 2022
Tokyo (Japan), Dec 09 (ANI): Tokyo Metropolitan Government in Japan has been operating a new subway train on the Mita line since May. The Mita line runs from north to south in Tokyo. A number of locals commute on the local trains every day, and the number of commuters is constantly increasing year by year. The train currently has only 6 cars that were launched around 30 years ago. In order to fulfil the increasing number of passengers and ensure comfortable transportation, the Tokyo Metropolitan Department has decided to launch an 8-car subway train with modern design and facilities. The new subway train is designed based on the policies of convenience, hospitality, and safety. To accommodate the growing number of inbound tourists, there is hospitality for foreigners. The electronics guide board has 4 languages. CCTV is also installed to keep passengers safe. The ticket vending machine has the sign in English, Chinese, Korean, Thai, Spanish, and so on. The SNS application offers convenience to passengers. Passengers can get information on the train timetable, arrival time, and location of the train. Also, smart phone holders can get a memorable stamp at each station. By reading the QR code, passengers can collect stamps that designate each station. The Tokyo Metropolitan Department is constantly improving its facilities to improve the lives of its citizens. It is the reason why Tokyo is continuously progressing and is one of the most developed cities in the world.
